Local electrical work in Engadine

Storms and falling branches are a fact of life in Engadine. After a storm we see damaged service lines, water in roof spaces and outdoor lights, and lightning-related faults. We make the home safe and, where the service line itself is damaged, explain what needs to happen with the network.

Engadine's housing is mostly 1960s to 80s family homes, many of them extended. Sensor lighting for bush-backed yards, switchboard upgrades and power to sheds and granny flats are regular jobs.

Homes and buildings in Engadine

Engadine sits on the ridge between the Royal National Park and Heathcote National Park, along the Princes Highway and the Illawarra line. Many homes are brick and fibro houses from the 1960s and 70s, with newer homes and townhouses in between. Many streets back onto bushland, and the suburb is designated bushfire prone in places.

More about electrical work in Engadine

Bushland is part of everyday life in Engadine, and so are the storms that bring branches down. After a storm, we often see faults on outdoor lighting, damaged service lines and water in roof spaces. Anything involving the network's lines is Ausgrid's responsibility, but we repair everything on your side of the connection point.

Fibro homes from the 1960s and 70s are common here. Before drilling or cutting walls, we check whether the material may contain asbestos and take the right precautions.

Electrical safety tips for Engadine homes

Stay clear of fallen powerlines and call the network operator.
Check sheds have properly protected circuits.
Trim trees away from your service line.
Have your board checked if it still uses fuses.
